Chris Chretien’s review published on Letterboxd:
Jonathan Glazer's Under the Skin was a unique journey until the ending credits and one hell of a surreal and symbolic cinematic experience. A simple yet intricate story of an alien that disguises itself as a human female to search out, seduce, and prey upon human males, taking them to an extradimension where they are gutted and consumed.
Scarlett Johansson was superb and brilliant in the role of the female alien. Scarlett carried this entire film on her shoulders. Despite the lack of dialogue, her facial expressions, body language, and reactions said more than words ever can. One of Scarlett's best performances.
I would have rated this film higher but I found the ending somewhat anticlimactic, which slightly took away from my enjoyment of the film as a whole.
Overall, Under the Skin was a truly bizarre yet extraordinary viewing experience and art film. An innovative blend of Drama and Sci-Fi. For me, the ending was a touch disappointing.
